Make sure there are no sources of heat in the room. SPECIAL NOTE This machine is designed to be used with or without water. Maximum performance is obtained using water. When used without water, Pinguino will maintain a full 88% of its cooling capacity. HOW TO PREPARE WATER CONTAINER Use only clean, salt-free tap water. The water is essential for the air cooling operation and si discharged in the form of steam through the exhaust outlet. A container full of water lasts for a period that depends on a number of conditions such as temperature, humidity, insulation, exposure of the room, number of people present, etc. On average it will last approximately 7 to 10 hours. When the container is empty, the appliance automatically changes function from water to air. At the same time, the quantity of air discharged from the rear hose will increase. fig. 14 Open the water container compartment door, tip the container forwards and lift up to remove. Remove the cap, pull out the extendable tube and fill the container, standing it on the floor. After filling, replace the extendable tube, screw the cap on tightly and return the container to its place, making sure the word FRONT is facing out. During "water condensation" cooling function and in particularly quiet surroundings (eg. bedroom), a slight gurgling noise may be heard. This may be regarded as perfectly normal. Warning: Do not use water containing salt, eg. seawater or water treated using softening systems that utilize kitchen salt. 9 DESCRIPTION OF PINGUINO PAC 290U CONTROLS ON/OFF pilot light ON/OFF button Thermostat A B "Alarm" pilot light Timer Timer ON/OFF pilot light Timer ON/OFF button C Selecting fan speed button SETTING THE TIMER The programmer/timer, like all clocks, must be set to the exact time.
